Repairing a telescopic scope, breaking it and fixing it again, Elevation and windage 

James, thank you for this video. I have the same issue with my scope (no vertical adjustment) and came here to see if I could diy fix it. I am sorry that your reticule broke but the information you give is timeless. I’ll give this a go this weekend. Thanks again from North Carolina.

Thanking you for the video, a lot of patience and a lot of logic in the disassembly, but well, the spring is bisector of the two rise and drift adjustments, the cross is solved by gluing a woman's hair with acrylic glue, well I have learned that, without practice that Yes, but the sight you took apart is quite simple, thank God, hahahaha Greetings from Chile Agradeciendo el video, mucha paciencia y mucha lógica en el desarme, pero bien, el resorte esta en bisectriz de los dos ajustes alza y deriva, la cruz se soluciona pegando un pelo de mujer con pegamento acrílico, bueno eso he aprendido, sin practica eso si, pero la mira que desarmaste es bastante simple, gracias a Dios, jajajaja

Thank you for the explanation, it is very useful for me. Greetings from South Hunting 88

Great video . Sods law you damaged the reticule, but great work really very greatful you educated the rest of us. Thanks from Berkshire England.

Sorry it broke on ya, but the video was very helpful. Had the same problem with the Elevation Adjustment, knowing how to take it apart made all the difference :) Thanks

😎👍😎 Great video.. How can you tell the difference in scopes as for this ones for a shotgun,this ones for an air rifle,this ones for various rifles..?? Say your at a garage/yard sale..scope laying on the table ..??

Sir my scope once a water drops gets inside so l open only the objective lens and wipe them off but after fixing completely, it's totally a change scope l mean it became blur and it's yardage ranges changed too ie. For a 10yrds distance before l have to turn it into a like a 20 or 25yrds,,,, l don't know what's going on,,, help!!

Interesting. I had a scope break the other day. Couldn’t figure out how the get the eye piece out/off so finally I cut it off to see how it all went together. Wish I had the skills to make my own. I have different tastes than anyone making scopes today

G'day from Australia and thanks for taking the time to make this video - One of my scopes has recently suffered the same problem (AEON 6-24x50 SF) with the windage and elevation suddenly going way off centre - I'm now betting it's that turret spring that has somehow gone amiss - Only difference with min it's a Side Focus not an Adjustable Objective - Oh well l guess l might as well strip it down too as l've certainly got nothing to lose by trying - Cheers
